Tanks question

[tector]

Hello there,

i use SilverBullet with XXL DualCoil LR cartos for a long time now, and i just saw the Lavetube and place and order..

anyway - i understood that you shouldn't use Lavatube with LR cartos, so i want to get a tank system..

my 2 options are:

510 DCT (Dual Coil Tank) Cartomizer MOD (6ML) - $9.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--nd

http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.com/products/dual-coil-tanks/6ml-dual-coil-tank-single-product.html


my question is - after the carto inside is dead - all the system need to be replaced? or you can replace the carto and keep using the tank?..

if so - which carto i should get?..

(i live in israel so this is the only 2 vendors that ships to me)

Thanks Alot!

good question, i just got the lavatube (ordered yesterday) but i think an LR is fine u just have to turn down the voltage on the PV, put it at like 3 or 3.5 and should work fine, due to i used dual coils on my ego all the time and they worked fine, also used em on my 5v flashlight mod

If it helps, I was told from the folks at Volcano you can use 1.5 DC (they sell it with the tank) but don't go over 4.0 however I think the guy from Volcano had his at 4.2 with the 1.5.

You just replace the carto in the tank.

Imo u r better off cutting down the outter tube (the tank) to 32mm and just using Boge 3.0 ohm cartos

Here is a pic of my cut down tank

The Lavatube will automatically dial down to a useable voltage if it sees that the ohms on your carto is too low for it.

ie. If you set the voltage a 5v and put a 2ohm carto on it the lavatube will adjust and vape at 3.7v even tho it reads 5v.

 

[c.chalie]

so what do you need if you wanna dial the volts all the way up a 3ohm?

so basicly you are saying u cant tell the diffrence from an Ego with a cisco LR 306 then a high volt PV and a 3 ohm carto?

and what did you use to cut it? i need to go get a dremil now too? and what if the tank i got has the threaded end?

 

[dotma]

from my understanding and my own experimentation, either DCCs or LR cartos, the lavatube will dial down the voltage on its own to protect itself and the carto. If you want to be able to go all the way up on voltage to the high 5s, you need to get HR cartos that are not dual coil.

here is the same tank a few dollars cheaper SMOKTech 510 Dual Coil Tank Tube

With a 3ohm boge u will get the full VV experience with a LT. It was designed to work with a Boge 3.0 carto/atty

As far as cutting the tank, I used a dremel. However you can use a Jewelers Saw, or a Hack Saw w/e Get Creative..

No carto tank that i am aware of has a treaded end.

i seen like 2 or 3 with threaded end caps on them and not the rubber ends. also i hear that the holes they punch in the cartos are not quite big enuf, and to cut a small slit in ONE SIDE of the carto, is this true?

I use a pipe cutter and dowel to cut down my DCT's only takes a few minutes

 

[mynameisrob]

A 3.0ohm carto will allow you to use the widest range of voltages. Using a 1.5ohm kind of defeates the purpose of a VV PV bc then your limited to using only the lower voltages.
Personally i feel if you want to get a Dual Coil tank, use an XL carto that will actually fit. If you really want to use a Boge, I would just buy a tank that will actually fit a Boge instead of cutting an XL tank down.
Hoosier ecig Supply also sells XL Boges that will fit the dual coil tanks

whats the dowel for?

please explane as i have a pipe cutter, u mean the copper pipe cutter?

 

[c.chalie]

now what is so great about the boges?

The hole that is in the Smoktech Dual Coil replacement cartos is TOO small imo. You can slot a carto on one side to fix the problem. Or you can spend $5 at your local hardware store and buy a "Saddle Valve" watch the video below to see how that works

Here is a thread where they are talking about cartos for tanks.

just a piece of wood to keep the tank from smooshing when I cut it, the reason I like the 3ohm boge is because they work well with my VV PV's giving me a large range of choices for voltage without put unnecessary strain on my batteries, the reason I buy the DCT from myvaperstore and cut them down is because they are $4.65 and I'm cheap

 

[Mr. P]

The LR cartos were made for those who only had the smaller batts, 3.7v and below, so they could get a hotter vape and higher wattage. 5v, 6v and VV can use the higher ohm, 3-3.5, cartos and get the hotter vape and higher watts whereas the lower volt mods can't. However the LR cartos can't be used on some of the VV such as the Lavatube and Provari because of the 2 amp limitation. So you just get a higher ohm carto and crank the voltage up.
